Anyone know that supernovasky poster from the 2016 flood? I would think he would be in these hurricane threads. He was incredibly helpful in that 2016 flood thread.
He's a poster/mod elsewhere now, I think. Can't remember where, though.

NHC uses what they call the "storm best track" which basically is an educated smoothing of the wobbles we watch as laymen.
Thats cool. Thanks for the info. I did not mean to trigger so many folks... Ha ha.

yeah slack... I read that when I read the discussion
I really wish I understood the math involved to turn 120 kts off the ground thousands of feet at flight level and 98 kts on the ground into essentially 105 kts (which is 120 mph)

supernovasky gets sucked off more than any poster in OT history.
Understandably so though.

Was that the dude with the laptop basically calling out flooding in BR street by street before it happened?

His input during 2016 flooding deserves every bit of credit. He was on the money throughout. #sayhisname

Man, I won’t lie, I searched for every one of his posts in that thread. Not only did he help me, but I relayed his info to friends and family and coworkers who it really helped too.

Really dumb question but how do they know when they’re in the exact center?
Posted on 10/8/20 at 10:00 pm to pistolpete23
I hope that cat is okay. Cute little thing.

A couple things. Typically they have a standard 10-15% deduction from flight level winds to surface winds. Secondly, the 105 kts is the PEAK sustained winds, and since those winds are almost always confined to a very small area, they will essentially round up to account for the fact they're only sampling a very finite part of the storm.
Long story short, if you fly through a storm and measure 98 kt surface winds, there is a more than reasonable chance the greatest winds are a tad bit higher.
